The winning play

Raise to $2.50

That's a shark's move — you attack the blinds with position and a hand that flops big. This is where winners print.

Why

Playing too tight preflop means folding hands that are profitable to play — especially from late position — bleeding blinds while passing up clearly +EV opens.

Raising is automatic here: position, fold equity, and a hand that makes straights and flushes.

  • FoldToo tight. Folding 7-6 suited on the button is one of the most common ways players quietly bleed profit. Late position is where you make your money.
  • Just limp inLimping wastes your position. Raise to take control — let the blinds fold, or pay you off out of position.
